Count me in as being there. Plus maybe we can do a little music playing! Bluegrass rules!

So I guess by reading the posts that anywhere there is water therer should be crawdads? I kind of knew that but mostly what I have seen have been real small like the ones I would use for catfish and bass fishing. I was hoping to find some places that I could catch some big enough for eating. I will try TR thanks GF. I will have to find an out of the way place because I wouldnt want someone to take catch or my trap.

more like a Giant Man-Eating red ear! LOL

I was reading the post and happen to think about something. Maybe we are stocking trout and they are eating what the natural fish do and they might be starving out. It’s just a thought! I know that the food chain and amount is limited, as with anything else’s food supply.

MDC calls them Rock Bass Facts: Season = All year Daily possession limit = 15 Size limit = NONE If there was some trouble with there numbers wouldn't thay adjust the possessiom and even put on a slot?

It says its collapsible that would be cool for transporting and storage. The price is low and thats a good thing. http://www.trapperarne.com/trappytraps.htm

I have posted this web address could anyone tell me if thay have used one of these and how thay worked, plus are thay legal in missouri. http://www.trapperarne.com/trappytraps.htm

I would like to know where is the best place's to catch crawfish and if anyone would share how to build traps for them and where to place them? I have been told to use cheap canned dog food.

Hey Gone are you in charge of bringing the cold drinks LOL If weather permiting I am going the day before. I hope to get in some camping and a little cat fishing that way we might have enough fish for a mini fry. LOL just kidding I look foward to meeting and seeing everyone there. It should be a lot of fun!

The web site I am listing say nothing about trout being the reason the hellbenders are declining. You can read about them at this web address http://www.ozarkhellbender.com/ I think it is insteresting to read about them as I have only seen 2 in my life.

I found the info and pics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, It was for info to how and why we make flies for fishing. I just thought it was a little insite on making flies.

Cant wait to see more pics Jesse

About Caddis flies The caddisfly life-cycle is radically different from that of mayflies: First, caddis have an additional stage of development, changing from a larva to a pupa; the winged adult emerges from the pupa. A second difference between caddis and mayflies is that the adult caddis emerges so quickly from the pupa that it is seldom available to trout during a hatch. However, the adult will live several weeks, spending much time in bankside trees and grass. They often fall or are blown onto the water, where trout eat them. Therefore, while mayfly adults are mostly eaten by trout when they hatch, caddis adults are mostly eaten when they are not hatching. A third difference is the manner in which eggs are laid. Some caddis species drop their eggs into the water from above, where trout can't get them. But many others crawl or swim to the bottom, deposit their eggs, then return to the surface. Throughout the egg-laying process they are vulnerable to trout. Finally, caddis are long-lived (compared to mayflies), vary in color even within the same species, and have overlapping hatch seasons. Therefore, on any day during the caddis season, trout are used to seeing adult caddis in a range of sizes and colors. This is good news for fly anglers: it means precise imitation is seldom necessary. "Close" is usually good enough when playing horseshoes or when tying caddis patterns. Caddis live in both lakes and rivers. River-dwelling caddis are a well-behaved and easily understood group. Lake-dwelling caddis, on the other hand, defy generalization. For example, the famous travelling sedge is usually from the genus Banksiola. But other species of caddis--from different families, even--exhibit running behavoir just like the genus Banksiola; anglers call them "travelling sedges" too. Fortunately, most of the differences between families and genera are of little importance to either anglers or trout.

Bluegill get together is on for June 10th. I'll bring the oil. what time are we going to try and meet? If the weather is permiting I might just go down the day before and do a little camping. I am so excited about this. I hope everyone can make it. I would like to see at least 25 show up. Ok Gonefishing we need more info.

Well real worms with out any weight works well for me. But I am a slow fisherman so what could I know. LOL

Stockton works for me. Just need a little notice and I am there. I will have to be a bank fisherman I dont have a boat. Dont even know if I could afford the gas for one!

Keep the leopard let him have the house cat there is a lot of them around!

Andy, Maybe we can get toghther sometime for a little fishing! Do you know anything about Longview lake? Also I hear there is a good place near Nevada for red ears. Anyway drop me a line and we will see if we can get toghther someplace close! PS my brother lives near springfield and is always looking for a fishing partner to go around there! Jesse

I have a suzuki sidekick 4x4 (also known as a geo tracker and it gets 31 mpg in town and 28 on the hiway with an 8 gallon tank and still costs almost 30 dollors to fill! and it wont go far on a fillup!!! Something needs to be done about the gas prices! I know I drive less and less every month! and my budget for gas go's up almost every month. BTW what is AIR? LOL

Hey that sounds gerat! Maybe share a few hot spots! Maybe everyone can pitch in a buck or two and split it up between the top 3 or something like that! Just a thought!

Hello, I live near Kansas city. I get around slow and fish slow. You would be suprised what you can catch fishing slow! LOL I enjoy fishing with a night crawler and no weight! just fishing slow and leting it float around! And when the crappies are running its time to fish a little faster with some minnows! but thats my thoughts. Its about time for the red ears and crackers to start running hard! I just love them. I think thay are better than trout! hummm did I say that! yep I think it was me that said that! LOL If you know of any good places around Grandview to fish for some please let me know. Thats about it for now, have a great day and take time to go fishing and teach a kid to fish! Jesse
